What is the processing method used to produce canned salmon?
The production process for canned salmon is as per the following sequence of steps: 1. Catching & Transporting The salmon are typically caught using large seine boats equipped with a purse seine net, and are transported to the cannery by the boats in refrigerated sea water (RSW). 2. Unloading, Sorting & Weighing The fish are removed from the vessel hold(s) by vacuum pump discharging onto an elevator, conveyor and sorting belt. Incidental species in the load are sorted into totes located adjacent to the conveyor, while the main specie in the load are discharged into totes which are first weighed by the Tallyman, and well iced while held prior to processing. 3. Inspection Of The Raw Fish Fish from each hold of the vessel are taken off the conveyor at the time of unloading by a Quality Control Technician, the temperatures of the fish are measured, and the fish are inspected both internally and externally to assess the fish quality. Findings and observations are recorded on the Landing Rep
